Why is romo not playing




















And I don't envision that really being something I'd have to think long and hard about," Romo said. The Miami defense came up huge and Tua Tagovailoa came on in relief to lead the Dolphins past the Ravens on Thursday night. Doctors told Russell Wilson he'd be out between weeks. That wasn't going to fly for one of the NFL's most maniacal competitors. The 10th-year veteran veteran had never missed a game, much less multiple weeks.

Wilson, as he's wont to do amid adversity, just worked harder. And it's sure to turn quite a few heads. Dallas' banged-up pass-rushing unit has sustained another significant blow in the form of a calf injury to standout edge rusher Randy Gregory. The Cardinals managed to win on the road in Week 9 without a collection of key players, and they're getting one back in time for Week The Chiefs are not who we thought they were -- at least not yet.

And with the offense uncharacteristically sputtering, Patrick Mahomes is adamant about continuing to try to do what has worked in the past. With the Panthers in need of depth at the QB position, the club plans to meet with free agent Cam Newton, who led the franchise for the first nine years of his career.

We felt like he was ready to go. Then he had another setback. I just think it's a great situation for us right now. We'll continue to work both sides. Obviously, Dak is doing a great job playing right now. Tony's doing a great job working on his rehab, getting himself in the best possible shape he can be in for when the time comes that we're ready for him to go. When healthy, Romo is one of the NFL 's best quarterbacks. But you know how this sentence ends -- Romo can't stay healthy. He played in only four games last season after twice breaking his clavicle and now he's recovering from a back injury.

Whenever he's medically cleared to play, he'll need time to get used to the speed of the game. And if Romo isn't coming back until, say, Week 11, that means it might be reasonable that he'll need a few weeks to get comfortable, and then, hopefully, return to his Pro Bowl form over the final three or four games.

And that's the best-case scenario. This idea of trading Tony Romo for draft picks is preposterous. Who is going to start instead of him? The aging Kitna? All respect to Kitna, but he's a backup now. So many teams around the NFL would kill to have Romo as their quarterback. Teams like the Denver Broncos , Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins are starting different guys every week trying to find who can lead their team.

Romo is the best option for the Cowboys moving forward. Jerry Jones is fortunate to have a guy like him behind center. Once again, for almost his whole career, the Cowboys were led by a dysfunctional head coach in Wade Phillips.

Romo was still able to win 13 games in with Phillips at the helm. A team is only as strong as its weakest link. When the Cowboys had guys like Owens complaining about Witten and Romo conspiring without him—or overdosing on pills—it creates distractions and an environment not conducive for success.

Now that Phillips and Owens are in the past, the sky is the limit for the Cowboys. However, with Rob Ryan having success as the new defensive coordinator, the Cowboys actually have a good shot to do something special in the winter. One must first look at the term overrated and analyze it. The word basically means that someone is receiving more praise than they've earned. But this isn't true. When Romo loses a game, he gets bashed by the networks, writers on this site and by fans.

The criticism he gets is unwarranted at times. It's not like every loss is directly Romo's fault. For instance, the game against Detroit when Romo threw two straight interceptions to turn a Dallas lead to a lead, was not all on Romo.

Dallas still had a two possession lead. The defense didn't do a good job stopping Detroit and the Cowboys eventually lost. The criticism he gets after losses can be very over-the-top at times and unwarranted. And when he helps the Cowboys win games, he gets a fair amount of praise. He's definitely not overrated. Nobody puts Romo on a pedestal after each win. That's Mark Sanchez.

The Jets can win despite his play. Romo deserves the praise he gets. In his 54 wins with Dallas, he has a passer rating of over
